Did you know that a short stretch of South Carolina, known as Jocassee Gorges, contains more species of trees than almost anywhere else on Earth? The majority are deciduous trees that sport a unique look every Spring and Fall. In Fall they can be especially beautiful. From the comfort of a pontoon boat, explore the science behind changing colors and meet some of the area’s most interesting and colorful trees - up close and personal. Be prepared to view trees in a whole new way… as living, breathing individuals. We will also visit some of the beautiful waterfalls and wild rivers for which Lake Jocassee is so famous. A South Carolina State Park entrance fee or pass is required.
